Several
months ago, Hulk had a vision of Ms. Marvel in the Orb of Agamotto at the Sanctum
Sanctorum and became violent, recalling his encounter with the similarly
costumed Captain Marvel. It took the combined powers of Doctor Strange and
Valkyrie to calm Hulk down. Hulk, his feelings hurt as he was only trying to
protect his friends, walks out. Strange wants to look into the incident but Val
tells him “Tomorrow” But tomorrow the Emissaries of Evil would attack and
Strange would be possessed by the Star of Capistan and the matter would be
forgotten….
Mike
Barnett is in a bar, drinking to forget Ms. Marvel, his patient whom he is
falling in love with. He is approached by Arthur Shaman and hypnotized….
Kyle
Richmond and Patsy Walker return from a night out to his penthouse but a
warning light is flashing. They change into Nighthawk and Hellcat and confront
the intruder: Ms. Marvel. She tells them that she has had a premonition that a
friend of hers is in danger and that someone will try to kill the Defenders
that night….
Shaman
brings Michael Barnett to A.I.M. headquarters where he is placed in a
psycho-conditioner where all the secrets of how to destroy Carol Danvers are
extracted from his brain….
The
Sanctum Sanctorum is attacked by a spaceship; Clea, Hulk, and Valkyrie head
into the street where they are attacked by a creature calling itself Warbot who
is able to take on all three of them at once. It reflects Clea’s spells back at
her, encases Val in a block of crystal, then freezes Hulk solid and carries the
latter off, in fulfillment of its mission. But Nighthawk arrives on the scene
and contacts Hellcat and Ms. Marvel and the three of them pursue the villains
to a barn in the country where A.I.M. and Arthur Shaman are putting together a
scheme to destroy Carol Danvers, using Hulk. The Defenders arrive and Ms.
Marvel smashes Warbot into tiny pieces while Hellcat and Nighthawk take down
Shaman and the A.I.M. agents. Clea removes the hypnotic spell on Michael
Barnett but Ms. Marvel can not explain why her image appeared in the Orb of
Agamotto that time….
